ST. AUGUSTINE,
[THE NEWPORT OF THE SOUTH.]
ST. AUGUSTINE will always remain "ye ancient city," both in name and characteristics, in spite of the vast improvements and modern customs which are fast making inroads on the quiet lives of the descendents of the Spaniards.
Settled in 1512, this city has an identity unlike that of any in America. It is a genuine old Spanish or Moorish city, transplanted as it were from the ancient homes of the Castilians to the more modern shores of the New World, where, retaining all the pecu- liarities of an Eastern city, it has charms and associations that belong to the distant past.
This ancient city is thirty-six miles southeast of Jacksonville, fifteen east of Tocoi, and is situated on a peninsula between three salt-water rivers, viz: Matanzas, St. Sebastian and North. The site of the city is high and dry, which affords good drainage and, of necessity, excellent health. The St. John's Railway runs west to the St. John's River at Tocoi, where connection is made with the river steamers, and by steam ferry at West Tocoi with the Jacksonville, Tampa & Key West Railway, and all points North and West.
The St. Augustine & Palatka Railway forms a new route from St. Augustine south to Palatka, where it connects with all rail- roads and steamboats at the latter named city. It lands its passen- gers at St. Augustine in its new depot, within a few minutes walk of the Plaza. This new road runs from a point on the St. John's Railway, about six miles west of St. Augustine direct to Palatka, distance about twenty-five miles. In front of the city is a land- locked bay in the foreground, while a mile distant can be seen the great Atlantic, the roar of whose surf can be distinctly heard as it breaks upon the beach.
Since the opening of the Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Halifax River Railway (which. by the way, is a Division of the Jackson- ville, Tampa & Key West Railway), between St. Augustine and Jacksonville, this city has materially increased in " fame and for- tune." This road brings these cities within ninety minutes of each other, and has assisted very materially in the development of both. It is expected that it will be extended in the near future to that home of the orange, The Halifax, a country which, it is said, "for fertility and natural beauty is not equalled for the same distance in Florida."
St. Augustine has never aspired to be a commercial mart, but the railroad and canal enterprises thriving make it more of a market than it has heretofore enjoyed. It is not, however, as a business center that St. Augustine claims recognition. It does

not compete with Jacksonville or other cities in a commercial sense ; in fact, it is noticeable to the stranger that, unlike most other cities in East and South Florida, it is not jealous of any rival Conscious of its superiority as a winter resort it has waited for its attractions to be known rather than thrusting itself upon the pub lic's notice. During the past two years there has been a great movement forward. Capitalists are investing millions here.
In addition to the St. Augustine, Magnolia, The Florida, Casa- Monica, The St. George, Ocean View and other hotels which con- tribute so much toward the success of St. Augustine as a winter resort, the Hotel San Marco, completed in 1885, and the Hotel Ponce de Leon, to be opened next season, will still further empha- size the supremacy of St. Augustine. When the Hotel San Marco opened its doors it was "the talk of the town." but the Hotel Ponce de Leon is to eclipse all former efforts in hotel building in the South. It is now being built of modern coquina and, together with the groundsand furnishings, will cost, when completed, about $3,000,000. The great public knows but little of the improve- ments going on here. The following is from the New York Tri- bune of Nov. 23, '86, and will be read with interest. It sounds more like the tales of the Arabian knights than a statement of facts :
" Americans have a lesson taught them in work going on now in Florida's most beautiful social centre, St. Augustine. A few years ago, after years spent in rambling in foreign countries, there came to St. Augustine a mild-mannered, slender, gray-haired man (Mr. Franklin W. Smith, of Boston), whose talent found here the material and the true surroundings for its exercise. From sketches of the most minute and elaborate details of the Alhambra and other Moorish places in Spain, Tangiers and Algiers, this gentleman erected a residence in St. Augustine that is emphatically a work of refined Oriental art. The material used in the construc- tion is beach sand, small shells and cement, making a beautiful concrete as durable as granite. It color it is a light gray, just about the tint of the moss drapery of the live oaks. The ingredi- ents were mixed with water into a mass, then carried in hods and poured into the matrix of the rising walls. Villa Zorayda, as this unique creation is named, is a notable building, appropriate to the climate of Florida ; and so graceful, airy, harmonious, and elegant that it has been pronounced the most beautiful residence in Amer- ica. Above the front entrance is the inscription in Arabic: Wa la ghalic ill-allah-"There is no conquerer but God." Follow- ing this example, buildings are now in progress and still others planned that are Spanish or Moorish in every detail. These edifices are not innovations, but harmonize with the mellow tone of the one and two hundred years old Spanish buildings, narrow streets and general quaint air of the ancient city by the sea.
A gentleman of New York, Mr. H. M. Flager, after purchasing the most desirable site for the purpose in the city of St. Augus- tine, is erecting a Spanish palace which it is desecration to call a hotel. However, the name Ponce de Leon, is some restitution. This superb and costly structure measures 350 feet on St. Augus- tine's principal avenue and 450 on Tolomato street. The architec-

ture is purely Spanish, from the tall towers and overhanging tile roof to the court and arcades. Shell concrete is the material, with arches, window-caps and trimmings of deep red brick and cornices and finials of terra-cotta the same in hue. The building towers upward from its court, arcade and four wings to a central dome flanked by two large towers whose height is 140 feet. The build- ing is now receiving its red tabular-tile roof. The rich terra-cotta ornaments, niches, figures, shields, columns, caps and bulustrades are even richer in effect than the promise of the drawings. The court is 150 feet square and is completely inclosed in front by the arcade of ornate columned arches stretching from wing to wing, east and west. Entering it through an archway of terra-cotta and mosaic you will find yourself in a tropical garden surrounded by a stone portico fourteen feet wide, with rooms opening thereon. Opposite the entrance of the court is a still more imposing and more highly decorated entrance leading to the rotunda, which is fifty-four by eighty feet and four stories in height. The encircling balconies are upheld by rows of columns, and the effect of the per- spective, made up of columns, arches and galleries, is fascinating. A flight of marble steps faces you, leading to the dining-room, an apartment 150 by 68 feet, with circular ends of glass opening on wide balconies. The walls spring up into a graceful vaulting ceiling, to be appropriately frescoed. This artistic banqueting hall will seat 700 guests, and connecting with it are private dining rooms and one for children. The parlors are a series of rooms with intersecting columns that give cosey seclusion and a hint of * beauty-haunted nooks. There will be accommodations for 600 guests in the 450 bed-rooms, which are arranged so as to form suites, including private hall, parlors, bedroom, bath and dress- ing room, all having direct light and ventilation. Of course there are offices, reading-rooms, elevators, steam heat, electric light and other conveniences not necessary to mention.
But the owner does not stop here in his work. The Ponce de Leon faces upon the avenue "Alameda," so called after the most elegant promenade in Spanish cities. Directly across the Alameda will be erected the "Alcazar."
The façade of this unique structure will 'be reproduced from the Alcazar of Seville, while the large interior court will be surround- ed by arcades on which open. as in the Palais Royal, bazaars, res- taurants, reading and billiard rooms, etc., with bowling alleys, baths and tennis court beyond. The dimensions of the first sec- tion will will be 200 by 400 feet, approximately, with future ex- tension upon land beyond held for the purpose. Above will be, as in the Palais Royal, two stories of apartments with accomoda- tions for bachelors and little corteries who are fond of European modes of life and economy. These can take apartments with meals served therein or in the restaurants beneath at pleasure. The Alacazar and the Hotel Casa-Monica in this way will accom- date the overflow of guests from the Ponce de Leon.
And yet the whole is not told. Facing on the grand avenue Alameda is to be the Casa Monica-"House Mother of St. Augus- tine," just next door neighbor to the Alcazar and diagonally opposite the Ponce de Leon. A section of 100 feet range is com-

pleted, and the remainder will follow. The Casa Monica, together with Villa Zorayda, and the other side of the Alcazar, and the Ponce de Leon and Alcazar form a group of buildings unequalled in any country as an architectural illustration of style foreign to itself. Going up the Alameda from the plaza you pass first Casa Monica on your left ; crossing Tolomato street, you have on your right the Ponce de Leon with an Alcazar opposite and Villa Zorayda just beyond it. Casa Monica is to be Spanish with Moorish motifs. For instance the grand entrance will be by a gateway, one tower of which is eighty feet in height, modelled from the Moorish gateway, Puerta del sol, at Toledo, Spain. The façade fronts on the Alameda and Cordova street, a distance of 450 feet. This group of buildings will be a notable monument to art in architecture. And there is more to tell, of gardens beyond the Ponce deLeon, of avenues over-arched by orange trees in bearing ; of grassy plots with huge tropical plants ; of costly and exquisite interior decora- tions and hangings."
One of the entrances to the city is under an extended archway of trees, green with tropical luxuriance, which impresses the stranger most favorably. The perfume from the innumerable orange and rose trees is not the least enjoyable of the many at- tractions here. The streets vary from 10 to 18 feet wide, and the houses are mostly of two stories, with the upper projecting over the street. Fine facilities are offered for yachting-a yacht club being one of the institutions of the city. One of the principal points on a yachting excursion is the light house situated at the mouth of the harbor. It is 70 feet high, exclusive of the lantern, and shows a fixed light. Fish and game are abundant. An ex- cellent free library and club houses afford facilities for enjoyment to the less active visitors.
There is a remarkable freedom from malaria, and the almost perfect climate makes it a resort for both summer and winter. The objects of interest in St. Augustine are many
For years it has been the custom in guide books to describe in detail the Sea Wall, Cathedral, Barracks, Military Burying Ground, Plaza de la Constitution, Fort Marion, Convents, City Gates, etc., etc. These descriptions have become thread-bare. It better remains for the tourist to visit them in order to fully com- prehend. Genovar's Opera House, opened this season, fills a void in the amusement world that has long been felt. It is a credit to its owner, Mr. Bartola Genovar; an honor to the city, and a pride of the manager, Mr. Ralph Bell, the well-known actor. In the rear of and connected with the Opera House is an attractive Café, known as Abbott's.
THE HOTELS .- There are in round numbes fifteen hotels here. Among which may be mentioned the Carleton Hotel. W. M. Teahen, proprietor ; situated on St. George street near the Opera House, Post Office, and Plaza. Mr. Teahen was formerly proprie- tor of the Teahen House in Sanford, Florida.
Cleaveland House .-- A. M. Blake, proprietor. Is situated in the center of the city, on the corner of St. George and Cuna streets. Mr. Blake is also proprietor of the Island House on Long Island, Lake Winnipesseogee, N. H., a summer hotel.

This hotel is the pioneer of all the larger and more elegant hotels here, and fully maintains its prestage. It overlooks the bay, the ocean, and the Plaza, and occupies the most commanding and central situation in the city. Its daily concerts by the U. S. Artillery Band in the Plaza are much appreciated by the numerous guests.
The Magnolia .- Wm. W. Palmer, proprietor. Ranks among the best of the larger hotels, and some prefer it to all others.
The St. George .- Is a select family hotel. St. George street op- posite the Plaza. Charles D. Tyler, proprietor. It was formerly known as The Tyler House. It has been enlarged to 100 rooms and has baths, gas, electric bells, billiard parlors, etc., etc., and is a first-class home for families.
The Ponce de Leon .- A detailed description will be found above.
POPULATION .- St. Augustine having been dormant for a century or more has at last awakened to its possibilities and, from a popu- lation in January, 1886, of 4,352, it has increased to 6,248 in Jan- uary, 1887.
A coterie of millionaires is invading this city with their social and financial influence, and soon, if not already, it will be in "good form" to have not only a summer villa at Newport, but a winter home at St. Augustine.
